First of all, the rumors are true! They indeed WILL bring you gf bread when you tell them you are gf. That, to me, was such a huge thing!! In my FIVE years of gluten intolerance I have never experienced that!
Our waitress was WONDERFUL, very patient and knowledgeable and willing to ask the kitchen a million things. Her name is Vera.
Both these things would have been great alone but I had the penne bolognese and it blew my mind away!!!!! IT WAS TEN DOLLARS and there was so much that I have dinner for tonight. Since when does that happen when you eat gf at a restaurant!?
They have a dedicated frier, gf buns for burgers or Chicken sandwiches, the aforementioned bread, a chocolate moose I couldn't enjoy bc it was to dairy free, and 2 or 3 pasta options.
It was maybe the best gf dining experience I've had. This is a MUST if you are in Schaumburg or Chicago.

We have eaten at Zeal's 5 times and each time Chef Vince, Chef Lauren and their staff have offered amazing service and concerns for our allergies. The Gluten-free and Vegan menus offers a variety of options including to-die-for pasta sauces. Recommend the Lollipop Lambchops, Cheeseburger with Gf Bun, and new fave Ravioli. Having warm bread with dipping oil and Gf Chocolate Cake are rare, wonderful treats. Love the restaurant ambiance.
